Saint Vincent de Paul
Sculptor: Jean Baptiste Stouf
Stouf's representation of the saint shows him standing and looking down at two dead infants at his feet. His facial expression registers his horror at he devastations of the "Fronde"--the civil war of 1648-1653. The resultant life-size statue was the sculptor's first major work.
